To determine changes in cataract surgical rate (CSR) in Fars Province from 2006 to 2010 and identify the contributions of public and private sectors.
This descriptive report is part of the Iranian Cataract Surgery Survey. To determine the provincial CSR, weights of major (>3000 annual surgeries) and minor (≤3000) centers were calculated based on the number of centers chosen for each year and multiplied by their numbers of surgeries. To determine public and private sectors' contributions, the numbers of surgeries in each sector were estimated based on the number of sampled centers.
Overall, CSR improved by 25%; the number of CS decreased by 16% in the public sector and increased by 157% in the private sector. In 2006, the public sector contributed to 69% of the CSR, and by 2010, this rate had decreased to 43%.
The decreasing contribution of the public sector calls for studies to identify causes and remove potential barriers.
确定2006年至2010年法尔斯省白内障手术率(CSR)的变化,并确定公共部门和私营部门的贡献。
本描述性报告是伊朗白内障手术调查的一部分。为确定省级CSR,根据每年选定的中心数量计算大型(每年手术超过3000例)和小型(每年手术≤3000例)中心的权重,并乘以其手术数量。为确定公共部门和私营部门的贡献,根据抽样中心的数量估算每个部门的手术数量。
总体而言,CSR提高了25%;公共部门的白内障手术数量减少了16%,而私营部门增加了157%。2006年,公共部门对CSR的贡献为69%,到2010年,这一比例降至43%。
公共部门贡献的下降需要开展研究以确定原因并消除潜在障碍。
